SC-450 P90 GT Classic Series : not perfect but good enough

6 years ago

pretty usable instrument overall, but has issues for sure (at least mine does).

pros:

-the blackwood fretboard is beautiful

-sounds great and feels good to play for the most part

cons

-lots of finish flaws - LOTS of them. overall a pretty sloppy paint job, with some small metallic bits and unevenness of the gold finish, the binding could be done better.

-the neck is pretty much perfect, but mine has a high 1st fret which makes it buzzy on all 6 strings, but thankfully the other frets are leveled properly and allow for low action and great playability

-a flimsy pickup switch

-high 1st fret action on some strings

I'm happy with the purchase because with a little help its a perfectly usable studio tool. Still I wish it was done with a little more attention to the details. It can be remedied with a good setup though
